Amazing Tour Company & Experience for the Golden Circle - Came across Lilja Tours when googling around for a tour for me and my two friends that would cover Thingviller Park. Julien, the owner, was so helpful in figuring out what other stops we could include in a day trip. Our guide for the day was Leo who brought incredible energy to the day and was so accommodating with everything we wanted to do as well offer up ideas we weren't even aware of. He was also really strategic in terms of navigating the very limited daylight hours that Iceland has in early winter. We ended up doing a private tour. This was a more expensive option but if you're able to, this is by far a better option as you have more flexibility in what you can do and your timing. Leo was kind enough to meet us in Reykjavik and caravan with us to our hotel outside the capital and then use his own car for the tour and dropped us off at our hotel. It was seamless from start to finish. Would highly recommend this tour company. There are a LOT of tour companies out there but I would have no hesitation in booking them again.

Perfect tour from Reykjavik - This trip is absolutely perfect for someone who has half a day or just over that to spend exploring. You see so many different things all in one trip, making you feel as though you've experienced so much of Iceland. My tour guide, Jón, was so informative and friendly, and he and the tour manager Julien were so easy to communicate with in the lead up to the tour. The car we travelled in was very comfortable and spacious and I love how you can customise your tour as you go along if there's certain things you are more interested in. I can't recommend this tour highly enough.

Excellent everything very well organized - This tour met our expectations very well. Well organized, Julien made us do the golden circle in a brand new Mercedes wagon. What more can I ask? We had ample time to visit all three places. At the end of the excursion, Julien allowed us to briefly visit the church in Reykjavik. Only small flat., when taken care of in the morning Julien was ill. Given the many traumas people have experienced since COVID, we would have appreciated him wearing a mask. We quickly responded to the situation by all wearing masks. I recommend this tour without reservation.

One of the Best Tours Ever - Julien was marvelous. He made special arrangements to accommodate our schedule. Despite this, he included two stops that wasn't on the itinerary. This was one of the best tours that I have ever taken.

Fantastic tours - Our tours with Julien made our trip. We did the private Northern Lights tour, the 8 hour private Golden Circe tour and he dropped us to the Blue Lagoon and took us to some other sights en route to the airport. Julien took us to some amazing places and included extra spots not found on generic tours. We learnt so much about Iceland and can’t wait to return and explore this beautiful country further. Julien is a wonderful guide and we would highly recommend him!
